Sutter Home Wine Cocktails: Garnishes!

December 13, 2011

| Posted by Megan for Sutter Home

When it comes to cocktails we all know presentation matters. You’re more likely to drink something if it looks good, which is why cocktail garnishes are so important! Here’s a few that we think would look (and taste!) good with any Sutter Home Wine Cocktail:

1. Blueberries: Have them float on top or use their flavor as part of the drink (time to use the muddler!) Tastes great with Merlot.
2. Cranberries: They make any drink more colorful and festive, plus they’re delicious.
3. Lemons or limes: Can be cut into a wheel and placed on the side, or squeezed into a cocktail to provide that extra flavor.
4. Mint: Tear the leaves and have them float on top of white wine. Brings an extra touch of color and flavor.

What do you use as a garnish, anything crazy like jalapeños or cherry tomatoes? Let us know, and don’t forget to enter our Sutter Home Cocktail Contest Thursday!
